Workers at Land Rover’s Solihull production plant were left choking on their early morning tea yesterday when 30 Greenpeace activists stormed the assembly line and began bolting themselves to half-built cars in a protest against “gas-guzzling” four-wheel drives.

Greenpeace activists are so wild? I dono how to describe them, I do hope that what they are doing is helping... it certaintly gets peoples attention, but does it attract equal negative attention towards environmental movements? I personally think civilized nations have laws, and that lawlessness is not the answere to getting corporations on board in order to get the ball rolling with respect to public opinion and compiance with regulation. But I totally feel sympathy for what the Greenpeace activists are trying to get accross. I wonder if a more unified approach is what is needed, instaed of attacking a Bear with hundreds of bees.
I agree that lawlessness does not help, and does generate negative publicity. It was interesting, in a discussion on Friday, we were talking about how markets are created, and the "greenies" are those who promote "green, clean" technologies, leading to these things seen as "good", or, through law, become mandatory. This in turn leads to business opportunities.
